摘要:

电子传导是以悬浮液为电极的锂浆料电池性能受限的关键因素之一,本工作以碳纳米管(CNTs)、石墨烯(Gen)新型导电剂与科琴黑(KB)、卡博特炭黑(Cabot)传统导电剂不同比例混配成二元导电剂,通过电子扫描显微镜观察、浆料的沉降率、电导率、电化学阻抗谱、电化学性能测试等方法研究了二元复合导电剂对锂浆料电池性能的影响。研究结果表明:CNTs缠绕在活性颗粒的表面形成较多的导电位点,炭黑又围绕在活性颗粒及CNTs周围形成覆盖面更广导电路径,炭黑还附着在Gen表面,提高其垂直方向的导电能力,但Gen具有团聚、分散不均匀的现象;含Gen的浆料起始沉降速度低,且吸液保液能力好,沉降率长期稳定在3.10%;复合导电剂1%Cabot+0.3%CNTs的浆料电导率高达124.75 mS/cm,半电池的电化学转移阻抗仅有42 Ω,其放电比容量为171.06 mAh/g,首次充放电效率高达86.01%,循环230次后容量保持率仍有92.78%。

Abstract:

Electronic conduction is a key factor limiting the performance of lithium (Li) slurry batteries with suspensions as electrodes. In this study, new conductive agents, including carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene (Gen), were mixed with conventional conductive agents, incorporating Ketjen black and Cabot carbon black (Cabot), in different proportions to form a novel binary conductive agent. The effects of the binary conductive agents on the performance of Li slurry batteries were investigated using methods, such as scanning electron microscopy, slurry sedimentation rate, electrical conductivity, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and electrochemical performance tests. The results show CNTs wrapped around the surface of active particles, forming numerous conductive sites, while carbon black surrounded the active particles and CNTs to create a conductive path with wider coverage. Furthermore, carbon black adhered to the surface of Gen, enhancing its vertical conductivity. Nonetheless, Gen exhibited agglomeration and uneven dispersion. The slurry containing Gen possesses a low initial sedimentation rate but displays good liquid absorption and retention capabilities, maintaining a stable sedimentation rate of 3.10% over a long term. The slurry with the conductive composite of 1%Cabot+0.3%CNTs presents a high electrical conductivity of 124.75 mS/cm, and the half-cell's electrochemical transfer impedance is calculated as 42 Ω. In addition, the composite presents a discharge specific capacity of 171.06 mAh/g, an initial charge-discharge efficiency as high as 86.01%, and a capacity retention of 92.78% after 230 cycles.
